[jvm2016]

Hi Luc,

if yu can suggest powercli way of configuring syslog server

esxcli system syslog config set --loghost=udp://[SYSLOG-SERVER]

[LucD]

Like this for example

$sLog = @{

    loghost = 'udp://192.168.1.23:514'

}

Get-VMHost -PipelineVariable esx |

ForEach-Object -Process {

    $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx -V2

    $esxcli.system.syslog.config.set.Invoke($sLog)

}

if you can suggest this is correct ocnfiguration

These are values you have to configure.

There is no correct/incorrect, it depends what you want.

See KB2003322 for more details.

the only confusing part is where to give absolute path

i.e

ip/var/log/net_log

its accepting only ip of remote server not the directory path.

If you are using a remote syslog server, it is on the remote syslog server where you configure where the logs should go.
